2014 CORESTA CONGRESS INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
2014 CORESTA CONGRESS
12-16 October 2014 / Québec City, Canada
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Each oral presentation has been allocated a maximum of 20 minutes - including time for
questions. In order to be fair to all presenters, session chairmen will ensure that oral
presentations do not exceed the allotted time.
The following logistical points apply to all oral presentations:
1. To help session chairman introduce your presentation, please send a short two-sentence
resumé (name, expertise, company, position within company) and electronic photo to the
CORESTA Secretary General.
2. Please also prepare one or two questions you may wish to be asked by the session chairman
after your presentation and send these to the CORESTA Secretary General.
3. Only presentations created with Microsoft PowerPoint can be accepted.
4. Authors are reminded that their presentation must not be a way to promote an organisation or
specific equipment
5. If you wish to include a movie sequence in your presentation, this must be in Windows Media
Player or Apple Quick Time format.
6. Please deliver your PowerPoint file to the Preview Room the day before your presentation.
7. Please only use well recognised common fonts for your presentation (e.g. Times New Roman,
Arial). This should avoid a number of potential formatting problems.
8. Kindly note that PowerPoint presentations will be gathered and made available to participants
after the Congress unless the author advises otherwise (please see notes on Publication and
Distribution of Documents).

The authors of abstracts selected for presentation should follow the procedure detailed below and

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION
OF POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS
Too much info kills info
 One idea per slide
Add more slides, do not add more on one slide
 Avoid complicated text and long sentences
The audience must listen to you, not read the text with you
What is said must complement, not repeat, what is shown
If you need to show much information at once, give the audience a few seconds before
speaking
No more than 5 bullet points
 Show each bullet point in turn to avoid losing the audience’s attention
Simplify = Magnify
 Use contrasts, arrows, or circles, to focus on the idea
In meeting rooms with two screens, a laser pointer loses half the audience
Handle visual effects with care
 Be consistent
Use the same font and colours throughout the presentation
Font and colour must reflect hierarchy
Communicate, do not decorate
 Be careful with effects
Be meaningful, not fancy
Attract, do not distract
Last but not least
 Test your slide show
Black on white may wear out the audience’s eyes, use a soft background and dark text,
or light shade text on black or dark background
Check legibility with a beamer and large screen
Print-outs
 Slide shows are meant to be projected, not printed.
Comments should be:
- In the full manuscript
- In the comments area of the PowerPoint presentation (which can be “printed” in pdf
format; then distributed)
